There are members here who take exception to the rare/occasional comments of others whose opinions may seem to be abrupt, dogmatic and/or rude. Oh, mercy me! One member in particular obviously ruffles some delicate feathers, but so what! Perhaps one needs to be a old "mossback" instead of a personally injured victim whose feelings are easily bruised. A few here,...very few..., post stuff I consider either naive, "post building", inappropriate, redundant or sophomoric, again so what! If I don't like something I don't read it, ...or do read it and just complain to myself from the comfort of my desk chair.
Here's a recommendation. For those who can't seem to accept a member's comments/opinions/irrelevant topics, etc., merely go to the User Control Panel at the upper right hand corner of the page, click on it, follow that page to the Options block at the left side of that page. At the bottom of Options panel click on Friends & Foes follow the directions there and insure you will never have to be subjected to the "indignities" of an offensive member's posts ever, ever again. I've personally never used that offered feature, as I choose to use my grown-up option of reading/not reading something posted, then b----ing to myself and moving on with my life. Seems easy enough for me.
Finally, in my not so humble opinion there is nothing good coming out of the blatant gaggle of "me too" posts when someone else takes exception to a fellow members "oh so offensive" reply to a posted question/comment! Why join a retaliatory series of "me too" comments against one of our brother levergunners. That seems foolish, juvenile and serves no real purpose in the grand scheme of things.
Oh, sorry - since I have the floor, what internet Nazi first made the rule that "typing in all caps is SCREAMING, and therefore is VERBOTEN!" I see that horse scat "rule" spouted as holy writ on several other internet sites. Get a life, says I.
Good thing I don't use the "feature" eh?
